Description
About the PSTX250-600-70
About the PSTX250-600-70
The ABB PSTX250-600-70 soft starter (SKU 1SFA898113R7000) is a 250 A, 3-pole electronic reduced voltage starter designed for 208–600 V AC supply systems, delivering controlled motor ramp-up and ramp-down for loads up to 132 kW. Part of ABB's advanced PSTX series, the PSTX250-600-70 provides precise torque and current control to eliminate mechanical stress during starting, protect driven machinery, and reduce peak demand on the supply network.
Certifications & Standards
- IEC 60529: Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP rating)
- IEC 60947-1: Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear — general rules
- EN 60529: European harmonised standard for enclosure protection (IP)
- CSA: Canadian Standards Association approval for North American markets

Applications & Use Cases
The PSTX250-600-70 is engineered for demanding industrial motor starting applications where controlled acceleration and deceleration are critical. Typical applications include:
- Pumps and fans requiring smooth ramp-up to prevent water hammer and mechanical shock
- Compressors and conveyors where reduced starting current protects supply infrastructure
- Crushers and mills benefiting from adjustable torque control during starting
- HVAC systems requiring progressive motor acceleration to extend equipment service life
- Process lines where bypass contactors or integrated bypass functionality reduce heat dissipation
The PSTX series' wide voltage range (208–600 V AC) makes the PSTX250-600-70 suitable for both 400 V European and 480 V North American industrial networks within a single unit, simplifying global procurement and spare-parts management.
